A spot for extra thoughts I need to get rid of in order to make room for more.

Well, first, I realize it has been a while since my last posting. No other excuse than I got lazy, and really just didn’t have a lot to share… Not that I didn’t have a lot going on, just stuff I didn’t feel like writing down. OK, so all that is out of the way, here. We. Go.

First, a few things from the last few months. In March, the film team I am a part of went to Seattle, WA for the 2017 Filmapalooza festival, which celebrates all the world-wide winners of the 48 Hour Film Project. As we had won Louisville, we screened and received some great comments, even if we did not win an award on that stage. There were more than 150 other films we were up against. That’s OK, we plan on going back again this year, after we win Louisville again.

OK, so I had to try something this weekend to see if it would work. I had seen somewhere online a way or reusing cooked lasagna pasta strips and making a crunchy, savory “crisp”. The concept is simple for a quick snack and will let you get rid of some pasta that you would otherwise throw away. Click the article title or below to continue to the actual steps.

Yep, in the middle of them. Not nice enough to go outside, not enough to do inside, so boredom is setting in. This weekend, however, looks like the temperatures will be such to allow riding on Saturday, at least. I am not really wanting to ride in the rain, with all the crap on the roads. But beyond that, there are only so many ways one can pack, unpack, repack the luggage for a camping trip. Time to do a final pack and hit the road, soon, please. I guess I will do it one last time this week and stow it so it can be grab and go on the first 40+ overnight weekend without rain.

So, for a while now I have been running 2 different FB accounts. Reasons don’t matter. However, in the last few months, my original one have become filled with filth. A ton of assholes who are offended at everything, think there is only one way to run the country, but if you disagree with them, then you should be “castrated and shot” (yes, someone actually said that.) So fuck them – I don’t want that negativity assaulting my eyes just so I can communicate with a few people. While I will miss a few people who I had connected to on that account, I wont miss the rest. Instead of firing back, I just shut the account down. Now, the remaining is getting paired down – removing the asshats from my list.

Hard to believe just how short 2015 seems. It was a big year for me, personally. Especially with the purchase of the new motorcycle. In a year, I put 12000 miles on it. I know some people who have had motorcycles for years and haven’t done that the whole time they owned them. I know others who do that in a quarter of a year. Through the motorcycle, I have met some great people as well. I have seen parts of the country I never knew existed.

Thanksgiving – US Holiday that falls on the 4th Thursday of November. Said to commemorate the harsh winter where the English settlers were near starving, only to be helped through by the grace of the indigenous people in the area. It is to be a day to give thanks for what we have and for those who are in our lives.

I think the indigenous peoples look back at it as the start of their apocalypse.
